religious insanity be damned; at least it happened in Germany, where the asshole will be prosecuted. As the journalist says, if it had happened in some countries in the Middle East or South Asia, the murder might not even be prosecuted. Now THAT is really hideous.

it will do little to reduce the practice of honor killing

some day even Muslim women will be free
